I am happy to feature again on my blog a very inspiring woman detective: Kay Hunter, the protagonist of the dedicated series by USA Today bestselling author Rachel Amphlett. A Deadly Promise is a very fast-paced unexpected crime thriller, taking the readers into the horrible world of crime and torture.
One after the other, corpses are showing up, and detective Kay Hunter is compelled to find out what is the reason, but also how she can predict what the criminal has in mind for preventing new crimes. It is a horrible charade she is playing against all odds. I liked both the surprising twists of the story which are not allowing you to make any possible prediction until the end of the story.
As usual in the case of crime thriller, figuring out the motivations of the crime may solve half way the case, but the more difficult the task, the better the book. Kay Hunter keeps being a humorous and intelligent character, yet dedicated to her mission. As in the case of my previous book from the series, I enjoyed trying to be part of the investigation, although in the end was pretty fair from the truth.
The book is alert, with well built situations and almost perfect crimes that for a couple of pages was almost sure that there will be no clear solution to them.
This is the 13rd book in the series, but as in the case of A Lethal Deception it can be easily read as a stand alone. However, it would be really hard to resist not going through the other previous episodes.
As for me, I can only hope that there will be a no. 14 and even many more books in the series.
Rating: 5 stars
